Quote from: Waffler on November 29, 2025, 03:25:22 PMThis is true but the games he was in he usually took such a pounding that he couldn't be a long term replacement. Ironic that what took him out last time was non-contact.

His career stats were 26 TD's versus 31 int's.

The Bombers may have won games while he was the QB but can we really say he was the reason we won? Bombers were an excellent team during his tenure. Top defence and players like Lawler and Oliveria leading the offence.

Sometimes the best thing that can be said about some QB's in some games is that they didn't lose the game. However it's also true that sometimes a QB that is not an all star makes a play that wins a game.

Draw a line where you choose on which games won were more about his play than that of the team around him.
One game at a time.

Compared to Dustin Crum, Strev. put up worse numbers in almost every category but came away with more wins because he plays with the better team.

I'd consider trying to sign Crum. He has some upside and at worst would be the SY QB. His SMS probably reasonable.

OTOH, I have no idea what the plan is for the 2 back up QB's from 2025 or what to expect before TC on Elgersma for example.

Yah, Crumm is the perfect backup QB, don't see him reaching starter status, like Strev he's usually  geared to a run first mindset.

The absolute only reason to sign Crum is to prevent another Crumback.  He seems to have the Bombers number.  I'd much rather go with a completely new QB room than keep running retreads...
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Gronowski is the real deal at 6'3' 230 he reminds me of a lot of Josh Allen.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

I'll take your word for it. I wasn't overly impressed by him this week in the game I watched partially. In fairness that's not much for me to go on in channel surfing some of the college games.

That said, being on our neg list doesn't mean he ever ends up in Canada. So we'll see if he gets drafted this spring.

I see Elgersma got a workout by the 49 niners.

Darn, that may delay his arrival another 6 months.
